#plasticadditives — Public Fediverse posts

In this process, contact time with the #packaging emerged as a factor that significantly contributes to the transfer of #plasticadditives
Of the 49 contaminants studied, migration rates of up to 100% were observed for certain compounds, such as #bisphenols. Some substances, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), used as an alternative plasticiser, showed very high migration rates in all #fishspecies analysed & reached more than 95% in salmon

of the remaining contaminants was minimal. A study by the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC), in collaboration with the University of Florence, has demonstrated that different #plasticadditives present in common food packaging can migrate into fish during domestic storage in refrigerators & freezers. The research published in #EnvironmentInternational evaluated this transfer for the first time under real cold-storage conditions & found that migration increases
